I've been low on cash lately, so shopping hasn't been one of my recent activities, but if anyone else here is like me they LOVE to shop. What are your guys' favorite stores? My absolute favorite would have to be Borders because I can get so much in there for usually a pretty good price. I'm also a big Best Buy consumer, and I'm constantly in and out of Sanrio *(Hello Kitty store... lol). Barnes and Nobles and Banana Republic (my kinda clothes store) are good too.

I'm a bit of a tech junkie so my favourite stores are computer ones/game ones. I'm not one for much clothes shopping or any other kind of shopping but put me in an electronics store and you won't see me for hours.

I used to go to Sam Goody a lot, but after all the ones around me closed I moved onto Best Buy and Electronics Botique for my gaming needs. I use Waldenbooks and Barnes and Noble for books. And, of course, I use Walmart for when I'm up at college for food and stuff. No matter where I go, though, most of the time I like to be in and out as quick as I can.

I'm with Nova on this one. I like to be in and out as quickly as possible. However, there are times when I enjoy just walking about with no real purpose in mind.

I do that from time to time, but it's usually only in Barnes and Noble and maybe Best Buy. I absolutely despise spending hours in a clothing store. If I know what I'm looking for, I like getting it and getting out. When I was younger my mom would help me shop for clothes and it would take hours with her because she would give me five more things to try on after trying on the two things that I needed. Now I can get in and get out within fifteen minutes. (and I told her that, too, and she just laughed )

My favorite places to go are Game Stop and Barnes and Noble. I'm not real big on the clothing stores...though occassionally I'll spot something I wouldn't mind purchasing. I like goin' to Wal-Mart to get DVDs or Cds and Target is a pretty good store too...

We used to have a Target in our town's mall, but it went out of business years ago. Now it's been replaced with a Hobby Lobby. I worked there last summer and it's a pretty good store.

You're going to think I'm weird but . . .
I like to go to shopping complexes and either walk around or sit somewhere and watch people. I like to go to places like this sometimes and just watch people. I could do it for hours. I don't know why, I just like to do it.

Well, though that is a strange hobby, it doesn't necessarily make you weird...lol.
One time me and Marshmallow were roamin' around the mall and these other two girls that looked to be a few years younger than us gave us these strange looks and then they 'inconspicuously' circled around a cart just to stare at us some more, lol.

They thought they were seeing double! Okay, bad joke, I know. I'm done now.

My younger brother's birthday isn't until October, but my older brother and his family came down from Michigan to visit (which is rare) so for my younger bro's birthday present he convinced us to dress up in tuxes and walk around the mall for the evening (we had to do this during June because I'd be at college and my older bro isn't around that much since he got married so it was the only time we were all together). So here we are in matching black tuxes with pinkish vests and top hats walking around the nearest major mall and Outback Steakhouse (the town is about a half hour away, so I was happy that the chances of running into somebody who knew us were slim). Add to that that our mother and my older bro's wife were following us around with the camera and video camera (along with his two toddlers), and it was one of the most embarrasing things I've done.

Embarrasing? Sounds like something I would do for fun.

Lol, that's funny.
I went shopping today...lots of shopping that has left me not wanting to do it again for a long while. I bought several awesome shirts (one is black with metallic pink writing that has a bible verse, woot!) and then...Vienna Teng's newest CD, me 'n Marshmallow got MarioKart Double Dash for Gamecube, and....I got some cool pens and gum... And marshmallow sprayed me down with this stuff at Bath and Body Works. ...not that I stunk or anything, she just couldn't smell it from the bottle and then used me as a test subject, lol.

Hm . . . sounds interesting. My one friend and I have done that in stores before, sprayed each other with stuff to see what it smelled like.

I really couldn't smell it in the bottle. And then you wouldn't let me spray more on you so I was unable to smell another one. I got some shirts too! I love Barnes and Noble, but I just hate it when the book you want is only in hardcover so it costs more.
